This summer, a couple of green-loving Brooklynites want to transform an abandoned lot in Red Hook into a native plant center that would be open to the public for free. The project, called nativeBK, has taken to Kickstarter to get off the ground. A native plant nursery does not yet exist in NYC, and the project aims to connect local residents and businesses to native plants, while also acting as a platform where people and businesses can donate native plants and sustainable planters to local schools, non-profits, and businesses. The center will also have native plants for sale, in addition to wooden planters handmade from shipping pallets on site.
